Joseph, It was very slow for me to.
The dataset is very good but is broader than what I was after. It will be great for some of my regional studies but not for the tutorials proposed. Are you aware of any aerial photography at 1:10,000 (0.15m/pixel)? Something where you can show how to create a polygon by hand based on the underlying imagery.
